Where would you look for experienced mechanical engineers?

In a particular city (no relos) and must have manufacturing experience?

Are there any good groups or societies you're aware of that have chapters in most cities?

Thanks in advance!

The "Dark" Side of Sourcing

David DeAngelo, that guru of dating who puts out the fabulous stuff on how to captivate women (that is read more and more by women for tips on how to combat gamesmanship) recently put out a piece (The Dark Side of Dating) where he bemoaned the fact that his advice was interpreted as manipulative, on the face of it. What he was really bemoaning was the fact that so many people fail to see beyond that to the true message - that, in his words:

It's funny, because now that I teach men how to meet women, I get questions all the time that start with things like "I don't want to use the things you teach because I don't want to be MANIPULATIVE with women".

Ironic, really. Mostly because I think of the things I teach as being NON-manipulative.

And one of the things that I've realized is that being honest with yourself, and honest with women makes you feel like a better person inside.

And I think that the way you feel about yourself determines so many things... from your inner level of satisfaction with life...to the level of trust others have for you when
they meet you.

As far as I'm concerned, the more CANDID and HONEST you can be with yourself and others, the more self-esteem and character you build for the long-run.

I don't want to start sounding like an ethics professor or a philosopher, but let's just say That MORE HONEST is MORE BETTER.


I read it with great interest because much of the same thing can be said about phone sourcing. Read his whole message here and tell me what you think.

TalkSourcing Upcoming Radio Schedule

October 29 show TalkSourcing, the only-of-its-kind radio show about all-things-names-sourcing, is about to interview Sourcing Pioneer Glenn Gutmacher tomorrow, Thursday, October 29 at noon EST.

Glenn Gutmacher created one of the world's first 100% web-based e-sourcing courses in 1997, which continues today as Recruiting-Online.com. He started in this space by founding greater Boston's first regional career site, JobSmart, in 1996 for a major newspaper chain's portal, TownOnline.com. Today, as Vice President of Arbita ACES (Arbita Consulting and Educational Services, formerly JobMachine), Glenn is in charge of their Recruitment Development services including the creation of content, development of new curriculum and products, and conducting online events. Glenn is an often-requested speaker on Internet sourcing topics at leading recruiting conferences and associations.

Geoff Webb and I will be hosting TalkSourcing's interview with Glenn and if you'd like to listen tune in on Thursday at noon EST here or dial 347-850-1815 to listen and ask Glenn questions live - on the air!

November 5 show We've booked Bill Boorman for the November 5th show.  Although not a Sourcer, Bill wanted to come on and chat about where Sourcing is heading - more of a "where does it fit" these days.  He has a theory that given that Social Media is being shut down at many different companies (sources say 70% of all companies ban social networks - the fact that those wayward airline pilots overshot their destination 'cause they were tuned to their laptops won't help things!) Sourcing is still a piece that has been overlooked and will be in greater demand.  Tune in for this show - you'll learn a few things that might surprise you!

NEW SHOW DEVELOPMENT  I'm beginning a new radio show - it's called SellYourOwnBusiness.  It's my firm belief that many people have an interest in this subject - either from the buy side or the sell side and it's my hope that the show will feature sellers of businesses who will agree to a 1/2 hour interview wherein they "pitch" their business for sale to the audience.  The first show is tomorrow, Thursday, October 29 at 12:30 p.m. EST, following Glenn's 1/2 hour interview.  So far I've had several "nibbles" from sellers wishing to explore the phenomenon but so far nobody's been brave enough to step up to the plate.  Are you?  Are you looking to sell a business at this time or have you sold a business in the past?  Want to talk about it?  Send me an e-mail at maureen at techtrak.com.  If nobody steps forward I'll be taking questions from the live audience on the subject for the time being.  I have more than a little experience in this subject.

Animal's Radio Show: "...on the air he was a maniac..."

Following are the words of Johnny Cash describing the early days of his radio experience. Reading it I recognized the madness in the Recruiting Animal's methodology and thought I'd draw it to your attention - if it worked once why not again?

"Sleepy-Eyed John said and did anything he wanted on the air. He'd let new singles play halfway through, then jerk them off the turntable and throw them into his trash bin. "That guy ain't worth a hoot" he'd say. "Let's find something worth playing. All right, here's Bud Deckleman's new one. Now there's a record!"

Despite his act, Sleepy-Eyed John knew exactly what was going on. He saw the rock 'n' roll turnaround coming and he helped it along. He was a nice guy too, handsome...

Dewey Phillips was quieter, more reserved and relaxed than Sleepy-Eyed John, but on the air he was a maniac, one of those midnight howlers like Wolfman Jack; that was his act. He was good to talk to about music and good to me, and he worked his tail off at that station. His 'Red Hot and Blue' show went on at midnight, but he was on the air during the day too."
~ Cash - The Autobiography, Johnny Cash with Patrick Carr, 2003, Pages 71-72

Now, I know we won't find Animal on the air at midnight ('cept if you listen to his taped shows) 'cause he's fast asleep most every night at midnight but every Wednesday at noon EST you'll hear him howlin' away, just like some of those early mad characters in on-the-air radio did. Only Animal is doing it on Internet Radio at Blog-Talk Radio and you don't want to miss his shenanigans and you do want to be one of his guests - IF you can take his heat. If you'd like to appear on Animal's weekly radio show give him a call - 416 481 8016. Have your schtick together when you appear 'cause he's sharp and bold and bright and his listening audience is expanding as we talk about all this! Don't miss him broadcasting LIVE in Toronto from Recruitfest. Stop by his mike and say hi to the recruitosphere.

Today (Thursday, Sept 3) is the TalkSourcing Radio Show!

Geoff Webb and I are interviewing Julia Stone, a humorous recruiter who sources from Madison, Wisconsin.

"People don't want headhunters that can't source. Eventually they figure out that they are paying you a 20,000 fee for something they could have done with a 300 posting." ~ JS

One of Julia's many strengths is her common sense and we're going to get a good dose of it today!

TalkSourcing may be found at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/TalkSourcing

At the appointed hour (NOON EST)TODAY call in to 347-850-1815.

* If any of you would like to be interviewed in the Sourcerography Series for TalkSourcing (it's a great way to get the word out about your sourcing business) send me an email:

Need an RPO designed for the smaller companies

We are a small recruiting company that just opened our second office in Austin Texas and have been asked by 2 of our clients to put together and RPO model for them. Both of the companies are small with 2nd and 3rd rounds of funding and don't have lots of capital.

I have looked at MaxHire, Bullhorn, Kenexa so far. Maxhire and Bullhorn can't connect companies from 2 different sites i.e. our facility and our clients. Kenexa was 170k for the first year and 110k for each year their after. I am looking for an RPO model that can cater to the smaller and lees funded companies that can fit this type of budget with the ability to grow with the company.

Does anyone have suggestion? Please feel free to contact me directly

$16,000 fine for unsolicited calls!

The Federal Trade Commission recently announced a rule that prevents unsolicited robocalls to consumers.  Effective September 1, 2009, most robocalls will be illegal and telemarketers must obtain permission in writing from consumers in order to make prerecorded commercial telemarketing calls.

Telemarketers in violation can incur penalties of up to $16,000 per call.

As an amendment of the FTC's Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) from 2008, this new regulation enforces a strict stance against prerecorded pitches and harassment from robocallers. Prior to this, soliciting businesses were required to provide an opt-out function in their prerecorded messages-such as a voice or keypad-activated prompt, or a toll-free phone number with an automated opt-out system. Now, these calls are prohibited regardless of whether the consumer has previously done business with the seller. http://bit.ly/QMcWq

WolframAlpha = knowledge engine w/oracle-like ability to spit out answers and make calculations


When a free Web service called WolframAlpha launches in the coming days, the general public will get to try a "computational knowledge engine" that has had technology insiders buzzing because of its oracle-like ability to spit out answers and make calculations.

Which has a bigger gross domestic product, Spain or Canada? What was New York City's population in 1900? When did the sun rise in Los Angeles on Nov. 15, 1973? How far is the moon right now? If I eat an apple and an orange, how much protein would I get?

WolframAlpha will tell you - without making you comb through links as a search engine would. It also will graphically illustrate answers when merited. So if you query "GDP Spain Canada" you'd see a chart indicating that Spain's economy was smaller than Canada's most of the time since 1970 and recently pulled ahead.  More here.

Rusing Techniques NOT ALLOWED

 

"Your success will be measured by your ability to quickly deliver appropriate candidates to hiring recruiters. You must accomplish this task while adhering to company policies and recruiting procedures. Honesty is a core value of our company, so rusing techniques will not be allowed."  ~ Included in job description seen online for an Associate Recruiter/Sourcer

Did they really need to say "Honesty is a core value of our company"?  What's that saying in itself?
